Technical and physical requirements
The climb requires a good training and is addressed to sports people. You’ll be walking for 6 hours on the second day, so you’ll have to prepare and practice cardio during your endurance trainings. (biking, running, …)
Don’t forget that you’ll be walking with a 8 kilograms backpack, this increases the amount of effort needed to walk, be sure to be training with this extra weight.
Our assets
